Two Trillion Objects, 1.1 Million Requests / Second

There are now more than 2 trillion (2 x 1012) objects stored in Amazon S3 and that the service is regularly peaking at over 1.1 million requests per second.
If you added one S3 object every 60 hours starting at the Big Bang, you’d have accumulated almost two trillion of them by now.

[Given that… would you please fix that leaky faucet? These things add up.]
